    Didn’t last an hour there. Drug addicts everywhere hanging out. Sharing rooms and possible prostitution. Went to try and get a refund and telling staff it’s not safe here for me and my family and all he said was your safe. There not going to do anything. Must be a regularly thing. Worst place ever. Don’t not stay there.

    zero security. Lots of shady characters around. There was a microwave outside my door that someone made a point of opening and closing repeatedly and loudly. The door to the room was not the proper size for the doorway. Very strange. Would not recommend.

    It was an unplanned stay in Pasadena and it went smoothly and overall very well. Did find 2 small cockroaches in the bathroom upon check-in but I took care of it and everything else appeared clean and in place.

    I need to request a full refund of $379.08. This room was filthy and was infested with bed bugs. We left after the first night because of the bed bug infestation. The mattress covers were torn and covered in stains. I have two bites on my hand. Please let me know what the next steps are.

    They should have a microwave in the room instead you have to walk to the microwave near the office from the room. Inconvenient.
